You have entered Proving Grounds: The Mastery of Subversion.
In this trial, your group members must open chests to discover various-valued Seals of Subversion. Most of the chests are locked, and differently-named ones correspond to the archetype that can disarm and unlock them. Say, "begin" to start the trial.:
a spellbound chest must be disarmed/unlocked by casters :
- ENC MAG NEC : using Wuggan's Greater Discombobulation to disarm then Wuggan's Greater Extrication to unlock ;
- WIZ : using Xalirilan's Greater Discombobulation to disarm then Xalirilan's Greater Extrication to unlock.
a hexed chest must be disarmed/unlocked by priests :
- CLR : using Iony's Greater Exorcism to disarm then Iony's Greater Cleansing to unlock ;
- DRU SHM : using Reebo's Greater Exorcism to disarm then Reebo's Greater Cleansing to unlock.
an ironbound chest by rogues/bards (Pick Locks).
For both casters and priests, a Greater Scrying Stone is used as a reagent for the Disarm spell. Be sure to have enough before starting the trial if you intend to use the Disarm / Unlock spells.
Failure to disarm the chests properly will trigger various nasty effects :
- Jagged Rust : Increase Disease Counter by 20, Decrease Hitpoints by 1500 per tick ;
- Disorienting Vortex : Decrease Hitpoints by 400 per tick, Decrease Movement by 40% ;
- Hazy Cloudcurse : Increase Curse Counter by 20, Decrease Stats by 175, Drunk if Alcohol Tolerance not at least 50.
Your team has recovered a copper seal, worth 10. You are a little closer to reaching your goal of 300.
Your team has recovered a silver seal, worth 20. You are a little closer to reaching your goal of 300.
Your team has recovered a gold seal, worth 30. You are a little closer to reaching your goal of 300.
The total value of seals you have acquired is XX.
Once you reach 300 points, the group is to kill the Master of Subversion and two dragorn guardians to win the trial.
Problem: There are also dragorn roamers (a dragorn patroller) which will waste time and threaten wipeout if aggroed. They can drop copper seals.. but not so often as to make killing them worthwile.
The keys to this trial are the avoidance of aggro, LDoN-style "unlock chest" spells/abilities, and quick reaction times to chest traps (get cured ASAP).
Use of pacification spells is beneficial in this trial to keep the roamers at bay while you open and loot chests. Once all 300 points are collected, the roamers despawn. The only mobs left are the Master of Subversion and his two guards.
Master of Subversion has about 150,000 hitpoints and is fairly simple for a 10k+ tank to handle. Shell of the Master spawns after successful completion with the loot. Reward: Greater Muramite Rune
Reward: Glowing Muramite Rune
Reward: Emblem of the False Priestess

The Dragorn, Hemkai the Ascendant, is weak to piercing.
The Golem, Granite Stoneguardian, is weak to blunt weapons.
The Lightning mob, Steelshock, is weak to nukes.

You have entered Proving Grounds: The Mastery of Subversion.
In this trial, your group members must open chests to discover various-valued Seals of Subversion. Most of the chests are locked, and differently-named ones correspond to the archetype that can disarm and unlock them. Say, "begin" to start the trial.:
a spellbound chest must be disarmed/unlocked by casters :
- ENC MAG NEC : using Wuggan's Greater Discombobulation to disarm then Wuggan's Greater Extrication to unlock ;
- WIZ : using Xalirilan's Greater Discombobulation to disarm then Xalirilan's Greater Extrication to unlock.
a hexed chest must be disarmed/unlocked by priests :
- CLR : using Iony's Greater Exorcism to disarm then Iony's Greater Cleansing to unlock ;
- DRU SHM : using Reebo's Greater Exorcism to disarm then Reebo's Greater Cleansing to unlock.
an ironbound chest by rogues/bards (Pick Locks).
For both casters and priests, a Greater Scrying Stone is used as a reagent for the Disarm spell. Be sure to have enough before starting the trial if you intend to use the Disarm / Unlock spells.
Failure to disarm the chests properly will trigger various nasty effects :
- Jagged Rust : Increase Disease Counter by 20, Decrease Hitpoints by 1500 per tick ;
- Disorienting Vortex : Decrease Hitpoints by 400 per tick, Decrease Movement by 40% ;
- Hazy Cloudcurse : Increase Curse Counter by 20, Decrease Stats by 175, Drunk if Alcohol Tolerance not at least 50.
Your team has recovered a copper seal, worth 10. You are a little closer to reaching your goal of 300.
Your team has recovered a silver seal, worth 20. You are a little closer to reaching your goal of 300.
Your team has recovered a gold seal, worth 30. You are a little closer to reaching your goal of 300.
The total value of seals you have acquired is XX.
Once you reach 300 points, the group is to kill the Master of Subversion and two dragorn guardians to win the trial.
Problem: There are also dragorn roamers (a dragorn patroller) which will waste time and threaten wipeout if aggroed. They can drop copper seals.. but not so often as to make killing them worthwile.
The keys to this trial are the avoidance of aggro, LDoN-style "unlock chest" spells/abilities, and quick reaction times to chest traps (get cured ASAP).
Use of pacification spells is beneficial in this trial to keep the roamers at bay while you open and loot chests. Once all 300 points are collected, the roamers despawn. The only mobs left are the Master of Subversion and his two guards.
Master of Subversion has about 150,000 hitpoints and is fairly simple for a 10k+ tank to handle. Shell of the Master spawns after successful completion with the loot. Reward: Greater Muramite Rune

You say, 'Weaponry.'
Projection of Body says 'Mastery of a single armament of choice is not enough. The time will come when the flexibility gained from proficiency in multiple weapon styles will turn the tide of a battle and the alternative is failure. You must come to understand the value of weaponry. If you have this ability, now is the opportunity to prove your worth!'
The direction to the entry to your expedition has been marked on your compass.
You have entered Proving Grounds: The Mastery of Weaponry.
You say, 'Hail, Master of Weaponry'
Master of Weaponry says 'This is the Mastery of Weaponry trial. You must demonstrate your ability to be flexible in your choice of armaments, and use alternative methods when weaponry fails you. Are you ready to [begin]?'
You say, 'Begin.'
The trial has begun. You cannot bring any additional people into your expedition at this time.
In this trial, you will have to defeat four mobs in 15 minutes. Sounds easy enough, but they have massive amounts of hitpoints and require you to use certain attacks to kill in a rate quick enough to beat the timer.
The Bazu, Hulking Bazu, is weak to slashing.
The Dragorn, Hemkai the Ascendant, is weak to piercing.
The Golem, Granite Stoneguardian, is weak to blunt weapons.
The Lightning mob, Steelshock, is weak to nukes.
Finish these four mobs off in the allotted 15 minutes, and you win your trial. A Shell of the Master spawns with the loot.
